Though they may look like dirt, mud or dust, the earth produces particular 'clays' that have proven healing powers for ridding the body of toxic waste and heavy metals.

Within your body and beneath your skin's surface, these impurities are typically brought on by diet, the environment, the natural process of ageing and even residues left behind from the use of synthetic medicines and vaccines.

Two of the most effective and easily accessible of these 'clays' to support the release of these toxins, repair tissue and rejuvenate your body and skin are Bentonite Clay and Diatomaceous Earth.

Both are versatile, with their own unique set of 'internal' and 'external' application benefits for your ongoing Self Care routine.

Bentonite Clay

Bentonite Clay is nutrient rich, sedimentary clay that is widely used to absorb accumulated toxins within the body and extract impurities from the skin.

It is an 'expanding' clay that binds toxins trapped in your digestive system so that they can be released from the body, and it is a powerful chelator for clearing the complexion and rejuvenating the skin.

When mixed with water it rapidly swells open like a highly porous sponge. From here, toxic waste particles are drawn into the sponge and once there, they are bound.

Though it has been largely forgotten in recent times, bentonite has been used by ancient cultures throughout history for its recognised powers in eliminating built up internal waste in the body and cleansing the skin.

This amazing clay is a common ingredient in detox and cleansing products and for good reason!

It can have many beneficial effects on the body and when taken correctly, can also help promote gut health.

Additionally, it's also very alkalising and can help to support healthy pH balance.

From a rich Australian source, this pure, natural substance is packed full of health-restoring, beneficial components.

This highly purified version is safe to ingest and once consumed assists in ridding toxins, chemicals and heavy metals from the gut, mouth and body in general.

Internal Use

Thanks to its high concentration of minerals including silica, calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron and potassium, as well as its inherent ability to attract toxins, Pure Food-Grade Bentonite Clay can help to remineralise the body and promote detoxification processes.

Composed of approximately 85% silica, Diatomaceous Earth is a silky, soft siliceous powder derived from sedimentary rock and fossilised remains of aquatic diatoms.

It is a powerful trace mineral that stimulates collagen production and strengthens the tendons, blood vessels, heart, liver, lungs, skin, teeth, cartilage and bones.

It is also used to support body cleansing and the elimination of gut bacteria, fungi, free radicals and harmful intestinal organisms (parasites) from the digestive tract - common causes of a host of ailments and serious health concerns.

Internal Use

Food-Grade Diatomaceous Earth can be safely ingested and when taken regularly in small amounts.

Similar to bentonite clay, the negative charge of DE attracts positively charged ions or those that come from toxic residues inside the body.

As a result of its microscopic "sharpness", DE has the ability to pierce through the outer cell membranes of undesirable pests such as many intestinal worms and other parasites causing them to die and be released from the gut.

Topical Use

Getting in the pores, the silica manages to sweep the dirt that might be clogging it, allowing your skin to breathe better.

The abrasive quality of DE makes it an excellent scrub and exfoliant for the skin.

Despite being abrasive, however, the silica particles are small enough that they do not really cause irritation or trigger allergies on the skin.

Other Uses

Diatomaceous Earth is also a powerful filtration aid, making it ideal for the purification of tap water or to optimise the effectiveness of water filtration systems in removing any chemical nasties, toxins or pathogens.

Karyn, Mix Diatomaceous Earth & Bentonite Clay together (both available in my store) and simply take 1 table spoon (of the blended mix) each morning – either an hour before food or an after (approx) food. Be sure to mix with water, stir and drink right away to get the full benefits of silica in the DE. You will also be noticeably thirstier so please ensure you drink loads of water. Alternatively, or as well, I highly recommend you look into doing my 4 Day Cleanse Me – a natural Colon Cleanse that is designed to remove parasites and other debris. http://dontolmaninternational.com/products/cleanse-me

Take Care – ‘Cowboy’ Don!

Could you please let me know how you would take Bentonite clay and Diatomaceous Earth internally ( what amounts and how many times daily and for what period) to restore gut health-remove parasites and get rid of diarrhea I have had for over 18 month now.
Many thanx.

Please read the Medical Medium’s new book titled Life Changing Foods by Anthony Williams. It is mentioned therein that Diatomaceous Earth (although not Bentonite Clay, which I suspect is similar) are actual not really beneficial to the gut.

I had a recent X-ray done for skeletal issues to be examined, and not showed up dark areas in my digestive tract that I am yet to find the source. I did do Don’s amazing detox protocol followed by using the Cleanse Me two part pack. The X-ray was done after this process, so I wonder if I still had/have bentonite in my digestive tract. I did do some colon cleaning too after the whole process as recommended as part of the protocol.

I love what Don shares. I just would like to really get to the bottom of this an know what is really beneficial for my insides.
